Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have corrected the programming error in the weightedaverage dumping margin calculation in the Preliminary Results. This change, however, did not affect the final weighted-average dumping margin for CCPC. A detailed discussion of the corrections made is included in the final analysis memorandum,2 which is hereby adopted by this notice and is on file electronically via Import Administration’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (‘‘IA ACCESS’’). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// iaaccess.trade.gov, and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. Final Results of Review As a result of this review, we determine that a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for CCPC for the period September 13, 2010, through February 29, 2012. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Assessment Rates In accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews,3 we will 2 See Memorandum to the file from Sandra Dreisonstok through Minoo Hatten entitled, ‘‘Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Polyvinyl Alcohol from Taiwan: Final Analysis Memorandum for Chang Chun Petrochemical Co., Ltd.; 2010–2012’’ dated concurrently with this notice. 3 See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification).

The Department clarified its ‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by CCPC for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the country-specific all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of review. liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
